A correspondent asks: Where can we
send to get Peck's Patent Ear, Drums, an
invention for enabling people to hear
who are deaf, slightly or otherwise?
write to F. Hiscox. $40 Broadway, N. Y,
stating cause and particulars of your
deafness and he will give you all the
points desired. Read the following from
the Medical Record: "A lecturer in one
of our hospitals, while illustrating pro-
gress in medical science, introduced q
deaf patient whose case baffied all medl-
cal skill and was considered hopeless,
but an invention belonging to F. Hiscox.
New York. having been recommended it
was used with very satisfactory results.
as it fully restored their hearing. 1t
was tested In other cases and found to be
more successful than any known device
for the relief of deafness, as hearing lost
for many years was fully restored by it..
This invention is all the more satisfactory
as it is out of sight and does not require
to be held in position. And while it can
be, readily removed or inserted by the
patients themselves it is withal curative
in action and comfortable to wear.

the work undertaken, but it will ulti-
mately be done, and then, with the
erection of wharves all around the
sides of the harbor, San Pedro will be
able to handle the freights which will
more naturally reach its destination
through this port than any other.
San Pedro harbor has an area OF
some 1900 acres. 1t last year paid a
revenue of $S5, 900 to the Government,
an increase of 80 per cent. in two
years. 1t is wonder that the people
of Los Angeles are so apathetic in re-
gard to its Improvement, for no other
point is so we'll fitted to be their har-
Dor, and none of the other places
about which newspaper theorists have
written at thirty-tive cents line have
any comparison in value. We predict
that there will be great development
here, and that prosper as San Diego
surely will, it may not enable her to
outgrow Los Angeles, which city will
never consent to depend upon her dis
tant rivals when she can be just as
well served by port nearer home

vantages Of San Diego's harbor, is an
important shipping point and one
which may, with proper use ofmoney,
hold its own even against its favored
rival. Notwithstanding the compara-
tive figures the San Diegans are fond
